Today, The Autoimmune Wellness Handbook is available everywhere books are sold. If you pre-ordered online, it might even be in your mailbox right now... If you hit your local bookstore, it will probably be on the shelves. We are over here pinching ourselves!

We know many of you aren’t able to make it out to the book tour we are embarking on this week, so we wanted to celebrate by holding a virtual launch party and Q + A session on Facebook Live! Click here to see the replay!

All you need to do is navigate over to our Facebook page at 1PM PST and click on the live video of us. You can then leave comments and ask questions. We can’t wait to hang out with you guys!

For those of you that live in the Bay Area, Seattle, Denver, NYC or DC, we look forward to seeing you this week at our book signing events!

Want some more details about the book?

The Autoimmune Wellness Handbook was written on the foundation that the way we view and treat autoimmune disease is undergoing a revolution. Our purpose with this book is to help fuel that major shift.

We are hoping that this book helps you live out the seven key steps to living well with autoimmune disease — inform, collaborate, nourish, rest, breathe, and connect. This is an empowered, actionable book!

Just to recap, here is what you’ll find inside:

A chapter on each of the seven key steps to wellness; Inform, Collaborate, Nourish, Rest, Breathe, Move, and Connect.
Information on how to be a proactive patient, from receiving a diagnosis to partnering with a doctor who can help you achieve wellness.
Self-assessments, checklists, and infographics for every chapter to help you define where you are and decide where to apply your energy. Everyone’s journey is different!
30 exclusive recipes, compliant with the Autoimmune Protocol. We want you to heal and enjoy your life!
A 4-week meal plan and shopping list for the elimination diet. The mantra is “set yourself up for success!”.
A 90-day lifestyle plan to ease you into better rest, stress management, exercise, and connection, without making you feel burnt out! We know that making small, incremental changes will make this doable!

We believe that in order to live well with chronic illness, you need to become a new kind of patient, one who is savvy enough to know that a whole-body and whole-life approach is necessary. The Autoimmune Wellness Handbook helps you achieve that with information-rich resources, self-assessments, checklists, and guides.

If you’d like to pick up a copy today, order from these retailers or pick one up wherever books are sold!

The Autoimmune Wellness Podcast Episode #16: Putting Together The Steps of the Autoimmune Wellness Journey

Welcome to The Autoimmune Wellness Podcast Season 1! We’ve created this podcast as a free resource to accompany our upcoming book, The Autoimmune Wellness Handbook: A DIY Guide to Living Well with Chronic Illness.

Episode #16: Putting Together the Steps of The Autoimmune Wellness Journey starts with a look at how our personal healing timelines unfolded. We discuss how long each of the seven steps; inform, collaborate, nourish, rest, breathe, move, and connect, took us to implement as we sought wellness. The second half of this episode is about the “big idea” we are hoping to convey with the book and podcast series, the ebb and flow nature of a healing with autoimmune disease, ditching perfectionism, and shifting what we see as “normal” in order to focus on health. The very best part of this episode comes in the last 15 minutes where we share loads of inspiration on joining the community.

If you’d like to go more in-depth, check out the “Conclusion” section at the end of The Autoimmune Wellness Handbook. It will help solidify this exciting, renewing process for you and add depth to our chat during this episode.
